Great Ceasar's Ghost!!! ... I am just answering all you wrote to
me.
Oh yeah good morning again Warren and everyone of the motoring
public.

Aaah yes they did
>My favorite was a Lincoln Continental perched atop Mt. Penn

What a car! I loved the 460 V8.

>Bobby Darin, just TOO squeaky clean.
I remember Bobby's movie about the turbine car.
>Speaking of which Pat Boone never got in the car, cluck cluck!
Aaah...if not for Elvis with the Pelvis, they couldn't show on
TV, Pat sort of represented all goodness and whatever.
>With all the re-badged cars around it's hard to tell who makes
>what or what's in them.
Yep...I remember the colts and crickets at Chrysler... they
started out as being made by England's "Hillman Avenger"
and ended up made by Japan. Or if you brought this car
made by MAZDA, for some reason the same type of car appeared
at FORD, and I even found that the FORD version's replacement
parts ran better in the MAZDA 626. Needed a head gasket.

I'll get Maria in here to see if she knows who makes the "Paulo"
as the engine is great on gas, low on power, and as for hills
it just dies. I think it is not only gears, as in 1st gear
there is nothing, but one long slow climb up over the mountains
before getting to the coast, for a day on the beach.
Around Sao Paulo, it never got the chance beforehand to show
me what it really had. Traffic there is stop and go. Thats
what it is like in the 5th largest city in the world.
My TOY, never was like that ... I loved the 5 speed FWD gears.
Yes...even the handbrake and clutch efforts on the hills
were fun practicing....stalled out a few times mastering that.
>That's enough for now, the rest is only The Pete And Repete
>Show anyway.
Well from Pete's " The Pete And Repete Show" thanks for
the call ...."click"
